Description
I have been searching for a similiar issue, but the proposed solutions didn't solve my problem.
Description
In swaggerhub we have several api definitions. There is one 'domain' api that contains shared definitions and responses, however when this domain is referenced by one of the api's: models for the definitions in the domain are not generated.
I want to know how I can reference a shared api and generate the models, the proper way.
Swagger-codegen version
2.3.0-SNAPSHOT
Swagger declaration file content or url
https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/Company/JustAnApi/2.0
This is JustAnApi that references the SharedApi
post:
...stuff here...
parameters:
schema:
....stuff here....
responses:
201:
.....stuff here......
400:
$ref: 'https://api.swaggerhub.com/domains/Company/SharedApi/0.1#/responses/GeneralError'
https://api.swaggerhub.com/domains/Company/SharedApi/0.1
Below the response that is used in the JustAnApi.
Response Example A - not working:
definitions:
ErrorModel:
properties:
<insert properties here>
responses:
GeneralError:
description: General Error
schema:
type: "array"
items:
$ref: '#definitions/ErrorModel'
The above response references the ErrorModel definition. This approach does not generate the ErrorModel.
The example below does work.
Response example B - working response:
definitions:
ErrorModel:
properties:
<insert properties here>
responses:
GeneralError:
schema:
type: "array"
items:
$ref: 'https://api.swaggerhub.com/domains/Company/SharedApi/0.1#definitions/ErrorModel'
However a static ref as seen in example B is something we cannot use in our development cycle(it will cause trouble), do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
Command line used for generation
java -jar swagger-codegen-cli-2.3.0.jar generate -i https://api.swaggerhub.com/apis/Centric/Belastingen_Subjecten/0.2.2_codegen -l typescript-angular -o

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the supplied swagger-codegen-cli command, the JustAnApi URL, and the SharedApi domain examples; compare the generated TypeScript-Angular models for the two reference forms. Trace how the referenced response and ErrorModel are resolved, and consider the issue complete when the dynamic domain reference generates ErrorModel without requiring a static definition URL.
